This is a collection of fifteen haunting tale divided into the past, the present and beyond the past and present. The stories are at times a little odd with a strange twist not quite understandable to me. I did not find many of them haunting at all but I did find all of them strange. They do’nt have that spine tingling feeling about them but they are odd and sometimes bizarre. They feel like modern tales that leave you feeling like “I don’t get it” type of reaction.

The stories are not outstanding but the book might make a good read-a-loud book to give the story atmosphere. M.D.
